Quote by Carlos Briones

“La idea de que los seres vivos (y el Universo en su conjunto) hubieran sido creados por fuerzas sobrenaturales o deidades es tan antigua como nuestra propia capacidad para extraer conclusiones de lo que observamos, pues ésa es la explicación más sencilla ante la sensación de grandiosidad que produce la naturaleza que nos rodea.”

“My Aunt Dahlia, who runs a woman's paper called Milady's Boudoir, had recently backed me into a corner and made me promise to write her a few words for her "Husbands and Brothers" page on "What the Well-Dressed Man is Wearing". I believe in encouraging aunts, when deserving; and, as there are many worse eggs than her knocking about the metrop, I had consented blithely. But I give you my honest word that if I had had the foggiest notion of what I was letting myself in for, not even a nephew's devotion would have kept me from giving her the raspberry. A deuce of a job it had been, taxing the physique to the utmost. I don't wonder now that all these author blokes have bald heads and faces like birds who have suffered.”
